Robert Alcala
Knights of Columbus
“Fishers of Men” is the annual benefit dinner that helps support the mission of Guadalupe Radio Network: The salvation of souls through the powerful means of radio and digital media! We are pleased to honor Robert Alcala, the past President of the Knights of Columbus Galveston-Houston Chapter, and newly appointed Master of the 4th Degree 1st District and the current Business Manager at St. Jerome Catholic Church, with the 13th Annual “Fishers of Men” Award. The Keynote speaker will be His Excellency Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB Archbishop Emeritus of Vancouver
Robert was born and raised a cradle Catholic in Southern California, but he’ll be the first to tell you he got to Texas as soon as he could! He has served as an active member of the Knights of Columbus since 2014. Prior to his two-year term as Chapter President, Robert served as Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. He first joined the Knights while a parishioner at Christ the Redeemer in Houston. Since 2018, he has been a member of Council 10861 at St. Ignatius of Loyola in Spring.
After 37 years in banking, Robert made a profound career change. While on the pilgrimage in Spain known as the Camino de Santiago, he felt the Holy Spirit was calling him away from his corporate life. Following a lot of prayer and discernment, he decided to use his talents and abilities to serve Christ and his Church directly. He accepted the position as Business Manager at St. Jerome Catholic Church in December 2023.
Robert and his wife Christa are blessed with three adult children (Mathew, Michael, and Katherine) and four grandchildren (with another on the way).
We at KSHJ are happy to honor the work Robert and the local Knights of Columbus Chapter do to protect the sanctity of life from conception until natural death, and to promote holy vocations.
